Other Information

Washington International University was founded in 1994 for the purpose of providing higher education and granting degrees to adult students who meet its graduation requirements.

Washington International University is a private, independent "international" university. WIU degree programs are designed for recognition of the value of adult work experience. WIU prefers to be independent and free to choose what is appropriate to teach the adults worldwide. For this reason, WIU has never applied for, nor ever used any government funds or seek any accreditation. WIU graduates are recognized for their accomplishments in business, industry, international organizations, United Nations and governments around the world.

All of the Washington International University faculty have degrees from fine American Universities.

All Washington International University faculty members are experienced in distance education and are responsive and sensitive to the needs and requirements of adult located in different parts of the world.

Washington International University's degree programs are non-traditional. Just as we have requirements for acceptance of credits earned elsewhere, other universities, licensing boards and associations have their own policies concerning acceptance of college credits. These policies may differ from ours.

Study Time and Curriculum Change

All degree programs are designed to be completed in one year. However as an adult student you may need extra time. you can extend your study time up to fifteen months by sending a written request. However after this period a $300.00 late study fee will be required. This payment will give you an extra six months of study time.

On rare occasions WIU academic staff might find it necessary to make changes in the Guided Self Study program curriculum. The student will accept these changes.

Student Code of Conduct

Washington International University students are expected to complete their own work in a timely manner. Any attempt to cheat, act dishonestly or help another student cheat or act dishonestly regarding exams, course assignments, thesis or any other means related to academic work will not be tolerated by WIU.
